B People hold different views on what or how much homework should be. It is partly due to(由于) the fact that people can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework. Some teachers think that homework is necessary to reinforce (巩固)what is learned in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework. Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things. Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is necessary because it’s the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school. However, many parents seem to have different ideas. Elisa Cohen, who has twins at Lafayette Elementary School, doesn’t like the fact that third-grade students in DC elementary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. She said,“They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternate (交替的) ways of thinking about books, reading and writing.” Some education reformers (改革者), such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor well-known for his theory on multiple intelligence, think that Cohen is on the right track. But it’s often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework tasks. 24. How many opinions do the teachers have on “homework”? A.3. B.4. C.5. D.6.

25. According to the experts’ opinions, ___________. A. what Cohen’s thinking about is correct B. teachers shouldn’t work too hard or too long C. teachers should give necessary work to the students D. teachers should let the students repeat what they didn’t have time to get in class 26. What’s the problem with Elisa Cohen’s twins in writing about their book report? A. They find homework really hard. B. They simply copy one repeatedly. C. They get different ways of thinking about their work. D. They aren’t given much thinking about what they read. 27. Some education reformers think we should improve our school education by_____. A. increasing homework C. changing teachers B. changing schools D. reducing homework5

C He’s an old cobbler(修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris． When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven’t time．Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he’ll fix them for you right away.” But I’d had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman. “No,” I replied, “The other fellow can’t do it well.” “The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait”(立等可取)-- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) ,you might as well just throw away the pair. My man saw I wouldn’t give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.” I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf.“See what I can do” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.” When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, an old craftsman with his way of speaking, his pride in his craft. These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period, it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done. 28．Which of the following is true about the old cobbler? A．He had the best repairing tools. C．He was proud of his skills. B．He was the only cobbler in the Marais. D．He was a native Parisian.

29. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” (paragraph6) implies that .

A．nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him B．it was difficult to communicate with this man C．the man was very strange D．the man was too old6

30. According to the author, many people work just to A．realize their abilities C．make money B．gain happiness D．gain respect .

.

31. This story wants to tell us that A．craftsmen make a lot of money C．craftsmen need self-respect

B．whatever you do, do it well D．people are born equal D

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later. In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful． 32. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon? A. Because you eat too much for lunch． B. Because it’s hot in summer． C. Because your body temperature goes down at that time． D. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night． 33. What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph? A. All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day．7

B. Doctors need to take naps while employers don’t． C. If you take naps every day, you’ll never suffer from heart disease． D. Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people’s health． 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. You’ll feel sleepy at regular intervals（间隔）. B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health. C. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time. D. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 1:30 pm. 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. Just for a Rest C. A Special Sleep Pattern B. All need a Nap D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36 Try the following steps： 37 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that

Calm yourself.

gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way 38

Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 39 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of

unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view. Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 40 But it can rob(夺取) you of your self-confidence8

if you don’t do it. A. How should you start to forgive? B. Why should you forgive? C. Try to see things from your offender’s angle. D. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. F. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time. G. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress management technique. 第三部分：语言知识运用 第一节： 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 There was a boy in India who was sent by his parents to a boarding school． Before being sent away this boy was the 42 ．He was a champion． But the boy 43 after leaving home and attending the boarding school．His 45 44 41 student in his class． He was at the top in every

For example, some students leave the lights on in the daytime or leave water running after washing. Some leave too much food on the table after eating in the canteen. Besides, waste paper and books can be seen everywhere. So it is high time that we had to deal with the problems. As is known to all, these bad habits will have bad influence on our character and behavior. What’s worse, they can not only increase our cost at school and add financial burden to our parents, but also waste the limited resources. If we reduce the waste, we will change the present situation. That’s all. Thank you!
